If you hadn't told us, I doubt anyone would have known that your product was not commercially produced. It looks as good as any I've seen on a Mackie bonnet.

You beat me to it with your reports on the progress. I would have suggested following Thompson's advice, too, and then throwing the first attempt in the garbage. LOL I had to give it several goes before I got the gathering just right and the length of the pieces to match. It's more of an art than a science. And it's OK if each one is a little different. Think of it as a bow tie: no one ties his exactly like everyone else, but that's what makes it unique.

Good job. The bonnet definitely needed the cockade.
